[Gllug] Bootable CD's from non bootable CDrom drives

[Laurie Turpin]

Hi,

I normally get the magazine LINUX format each month along with the DVD.
Quite often on the DVD you have the ISO images of distros. I have 3 pc's the
oldest is a 100mhz Pentium II machine. Which has a cdrom drive but you
cannot boot from the CDrom because the bios does not have that option. This
month I have burnt Yoper onto a CD and wish to try it on my old machine, but
I can't because the Yoper CD I have created is a bootable CD.
What I would like to do is boot up from the floppy using a single disk
distro like Tomsrtbt and then mount the cdrom and run something on the cd to
kick start the cd off so that it installs Yoper.
Is this possible?
If so what should I use for the kick start?
